🐉REVIEW RATING: 🔥🔥🔥🔥/5 How has it taken me this long to read a T. Kingfisher book?! Nettle & Bone captured me with its opening passage, but then held my interest with each character added to the traveling party. I adore Marra with her social awkwardness and determination to see each difficult task through to the end. As Marra and her new friends plot to kill an evil king, and the characters trust enough to share details of their lives, the story explores the concept of heroism. What makes a hero? Is it the seemingly impossible tasks they overcome? Their willingness to sacrifice themselves for the greater good? Or could it be simply the decision to choose goodness when you have a capacity for evil. Kingfisher’s tale of a woman whose value is determined by her fertility, is especially timely. The fight for reproductive rights has always been of high importance, but with the recent overturn of Roe v Wade, this story hits more emotionally than it may have a year ago. Nettle & Bone centers on a quest for vengeance and the rescue of a beloved sister. But at its heart, this book is a battle cry for reproductive freedom. With heavy themes and dark settings, Nettle & Bone still manages to be a light read with humor spread throughout. The traveling party is rounded out with the affectionate Bonedog and a chicken “with a demon in her.” And the banter between characters is affectionate and wry. They remain lighthearted despite pursuing a quest they believe is destined to fail. In the author’s note, we learn this novel began as a short story. I hope I can find it online, as I’m curious to see how this tale evolved. I also want to know more about the blistered land, visited briefly. It seems there is more story to be told there than the little bit shared in Nettle & Bone. #nettleandbone #tkingfisher #ursulavernon #torbooks #fantasybooks #bookreview #feministbooks #mybodymychoice #reproductiverights #bookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CfzOqRapCv6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Nettle and Bone

The 68th book I consumed this year was Nettle and Bone by T. Kingfisher. This was an audio listen on Scribd! Mara is an almost nun, turned reluctant hero, rescuing her sister from her evil prince husband, when no else will save her.

The 68th book I consumed this year was Nettle and Bone by T. Kingfisher. This was an audio listen on Scribd! A vague summary Mara is the third daughter of a King, a small nation who have allied themselves to their larger neighbour through marriage. Her eldest sister was married to the prince first and died in suspicious circumstances, now her middle sister is married to him and is forced to go…

❔Which SFF book written by a female author do you want everybody to read? #WomenInSFF continues and today's theme is "I would die on this hill". We are supposed to write about a book we want everybody to read. But I couldn't pick one book - I want to write about the author. My main literature discovery of the year - T.Kingfisher(it's a pen-name of Ursula Vernon). • If you want to read something comforting, absurd and funny I can recommend one of her middle-grade works - A Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking or Minor Mage. The first one is about baker girl Mona and the unusual use of baking magic, the second one is about the magical journey of a very-very young mage and his armadillo familiar. • If you like mystery, detective, and romance (all in one) you can dive into the world of The White Rat. For example, pick the Clocktaur War series or The Saint of Steel and you will not be disappointed. I'm reading Swordheart right now - it's my last unfinished book from this world and I need to say that this world is really enjoyable and I grew attached to it. • For those who love fairytale re-tellings there is Nettle&Bone, the fresh release, a very nice story with a really sympathetic protagonist. There is also Bryony and Roses in this genre(it's Beauty and the Beast re-telling, but it's still on my TBR, so I can't recommend it yet). • T.Kingfisher also has a good range of horror books - The Hollow Places, The Twisted Ones, and newly released What Moves The Dead. I haven't read any of these books - not a big fan of horror. But for T.Kingfisher I'm going to make an exception and try. But I need to say that in her non-horror books the scary moments had an amazing chilling atmosphere and it seems that she can be good in this too, so I'm really intrigued. So this is it. Read T.Kingfisher. Love T.Kingfisher. I'm ready to die on this hill. #book #books #bookrecommendations #bookreview #fantasy #fantasybooks #fantasybooksseries #tkingfisher #nettleandbone #whatmovesthedead #ursulavernon #awizardsguidetodefensivebaking #minormage #thesaintofsteel #paladinsgrace #clocktaurwar #clockworkboys #swordheart #thehollowplaces #thetwistedones #womeninsff https://www.instagram.com/p/CgmOeY0rz0x/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️This is a wonderful and original fairy tale remix! Full of characters I would die for and laugh out loud moments. Recommended for grownups who fondly remember reading Ella Enchanted and fans of A Spindle Splintered. T. Kingfisher is rapidly approaching the “I’ll just buy whatever she writes no questions asked” territory. #bookstagram #bookrecommendations #nettleandbone https://www.instagram.com/p/CdBcq6TLr4Q/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Nettle & Bone by T. Kingfisher - ARC Review!

Today on my blog I have a review for #NettleandBone by T. Kingfisher. A fairy tale unlike any other, because this Princess isn't trying to catch a Prince, she's trying to kill one! #BookReview #ARCReview

After years of seeing her sisters suffer at the hands of an abusive prince, Marra―the shy, convent-raised, third-born daughter―has finally realized that no one is coming to their rescue. No one, except for Marra herself. Seeking help from a powerful gravewitch, Marra is offered the tools to kill a prince―if she can complete three impossible tasks. But, as is the way in tales of princes, witches,…

She steps into the darkness, then she faces what comes next.”  ― Brandon Sanderson, Starsight I'm continuing my participation in Women in SFF month hosted by @thefantasyhive . I've already shared with you my favorite female authors and my TBR. Today I would like to write about my favorite female heroes, anti-heroes, or… something in between? I'm really bad at separating characters in groups, but I'll try my best. 🛡My favorite female heroes: Kettricken from the Realm of the Elderlings by Robin Hobb Spensa from Skyward by Brandon Sanderson Marra from Nettle and Bone by T.Kingfisher 🗡My favorite female antiheroes: Apsalar from Malazan by Steven Erikson Essun from The Broken Earth by N.K. Jemisin Ferro Maljinn from the First Law trilogy by Joe Abercrombie 🏹My favorite "both"(basically it's the group of characters I can't place in any of the groups, who were heroes sometimes and sometimes definitely not heroes): Vin from the Original Mistborn Trilogy by Brandon Sanderson Yennefer from The Witcher by Andrzej Sapkowski Egwene from The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan Malta Vestrit from The Liveship Traders  by Robin Hobb Siuan Sanche from The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan 📚And a special category for the best girl in Cosmer - Steris from Mistborn Era 2  by Brandon Sanderson. #womeninsff #womeninsff2022 #book #books #bookrecommendation #bookreview #theliveshiptraders #thefarseertrilogy #malazan #mistborn #skyward #nettleandbone #thebrokenearth #thefifthseason #thefirstlaw #thewitcher #thewheeloftime #robinhobb #brandonsanderson #tkingfisher #stevenerikson #nkjemesin #andrzejsapkowski #joeabercrombie #cosmer #bookphoto https://www.instagram.com/p/CfwKSzALX4Z/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

❓Tell me who is your favorite female author and which book do you love the most? I saw that @jemofabook made a stack of her favorite books written by female authors and I decided that I want to share my favorites too. @thefantasyhive is hosting #womeninSFF challenge this June, so maybe this small list can be helpful for someone. I decided to pick 10 of my favorite books(and sometimes even series) written by female writers, without ranking because it's really hard to compare these books: • The Liveship Traders by Robin Hobb • The Farseer Trilogy by Robin Hobb • Nettle & Bone by T. Kingfisher • Nevermoor by Jessica Townsend • The Bone Shard Daughter by Andrea Stewart • Piranesi by Susanna Clarke • The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin • A Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking by T. Kingfisher • Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling • The Labyrinths of Echo by Max Frei 📚 Also, I have quite a big TBR and I have high expectations of these books, so I'm sharing it too. Would be glad to read your thoughts about them, if you read some books from the list. • The Daevabad Trilogy by S.A. Chakraborty • The Sword of Kaigen by M.L. Wang • The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells • Howl’s Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones • The Green Bone Saga by Fonda Lee • Legendborn by Tracy Deonn • A Chorus of Dragons by Jenn Lyons • Outlander by Diana Gabaldon • The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang • A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K.
